Monday night dinner – Spot Prawns

It’s spot prawn season and I’m IN! Every year these lovely creatures make an appearance in the markets for 4-6 weeks starting early May with daily arrivals fresh off the boat. I try to get my fill of them while they’re around.

The easiest way to eat them is raw or lightly salted and thrown on the grill for less than a minute a side. You can get more complicated, but with these beauties, I say the simpler the better!

Tonight I put a few glugs of olive oil into a pan with some shallots, garlic and jalapenos. When those softened up, I added the prawns. As soon as the prawns changed colours, I threw in some cilantro, salt & pepper. Devour right away and don’t be a chicken, suck the heads!

Mmmmm! How easy is that?

Call me a food lover... not a foodie. Maybe you have a definition of foodie that's different than mine, but I think of myself as a person who loves to eat, cook, find amazing eating spots, browse interesting grocery stores and drive a hundred miles out of the way to visit a farmers market. I like talking about food and taking food photos...
Up until now, I've never been motivated to put my thoughts to words. But then I heard the 2 words that inspired me to start writing. French Laundry.
